Description
Predominately Chardonnay from the Grand Cru village of Chouilly with Pinot Noir from the Premier Cru village of Bisseuil. This non-vintage Champagne Lenoble Brut Rosé opens with a vibrant salmon-pink hue and a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, it is immediate and generous, offering a basket of wild strawberries, fresh raspberries, and hints of cherry blossom, backed by a soft, buttery undertone of toasted brioche. Unlike the house's more mineral-driven "Terroirs" bottling, this expression prioritizes accessible, crunchy red fruit and a gentle, floral elegance. The palate is lively and refreshing, featuring a "cushiony" texture that balances bright redcurrant flavors with a subtle creaminess. It maintains a lovely tension throughout, transitioning from ripe berry fruit to a clean finish marked by blood orange zest and a touch of saline minerality. This is a classic, well-rounded rosé that trades intense chalkiness for a supple, fruit-forward charm, making it just as suitable for an apéritif as it is for pairing with a light summer salad or smoked salmon.
